The EUO is a verification tool provided to the insurance carrier by the no-fault regulations enabling the insurance carrier to verify claims. Gullo & Associates LLC. has developed an efficient and cost effective approach to scheduling, conducting, and reporting on EUOs. Our focus at an EUO is to gather verification information which is relevant and useful. Our reports are easy to read and rapidly approach the bottom line.
DJ actions are an appropriate vehicle for the insurance carrier to use when there is a valid defense of a lack of coverage, fraud, and/or insurance policy violations which vitiate coverage. Our focus in the DJ action is to gather the necessary documentation to prove a lack of coverage, fraud, or policy violation, and then present the proof to the court through the DJ action seeking an order declaring a lack of coverage. The DJ action is a cost effective way to defend lack of coverage, fraud, and policy violation matters.

Gullo & Associates LLC. works with our clients in our attempt to eradicate, or at least minimize, insurance fraud.
